LL - if you like to test out a long just split the first entry in half or 1/3rd of initial buy, then if she dips, double up on support. Depending on PA and news obviously.

I hate paying the spread if I don't have to...

Buy @ 1230. TP 1249. SL 1224 Excuse me. After further analysis, I think it is not a good entry to me. Closed at BE. Potential trade to me in next hours is: Long @ 1221-1223. SL 1219. TL 1249. In next days I think we can see a test of 1200 again. Then I will buy at that price.

Only looking at the TA on my weekly chart.. However, it kind of looks like a bearish continuation pattern. Nevertheless, the week is not over yet, so it is really too early to say for sure. However, if it is a bearish continuation pattern, it is one that will take it below 1180 for sure in my opinion. Ya'll trade at your own calculated risk and good luck.

Refering to today's Australia international trade numbers: CREDITS (EXPORTS OF GOODS AND SERVICES) In seasonally adjusted terms, goods and services credits rose $94m to $27,377m. Non-rural goods rose $93m (1%) and rural goods rose $18m (1%). Net exports of goods under merchanting remained steady at $44m. Non-monetary gold fell $61m (4%). Services credits rose $45m (1%). What is non-monetary gold refering to? Thanks in advance.

Hi Xtrade,

Thanks for the advise. Actually I closed earlier because I do not want to burden the risk of uncertain movement of last night. To me the PA looks like consolidating to me, so in these days I will only take trades with good entry and tight SL. I will only build my long-term portfolio gradually after the price drop close/below 1200 and then move back. It may looks stupid but it is a good way to reduce my risk by only sacrificing a little profit.

Update: My order was triggered @ 1223.5. SL 1218, TL 1245.

1222.... what next?

If she can stay above 1220 it might rise back a bit towards 1225 mid between 1230 and 1220 - sub 1220 look for 1215 in small movement terms. IMO.


ADPs number was good, yet I often find this number and the real NFP to be skewed with the NFP being lower

Hey mate, If you "just don't feel right about a trade" sometimes it is better just to wipe it clean and lose the spread, rather than getting stuck holding a loser.

Obviously your intuition here was right.

I might, if you are shooting for 1245 increase the stop to below 1215.

1223 - 1215 on an 8 USD loss - but you are trying to make an over 20 USD move up.

So there's really no issue with even putting it at a 1:2 ratio iMO thus making the stop 1213 and your reward is still a potential 22 USD move.

Price looks like it may want to dip below 1220, there is still an FOMC minutes today at two pm.

I doubt there will be any change in rates, yet they could announce further attempts at tapering off QE.

In any case as for now, I don't see the ADP release alone being enough to push price through 1215, but you never know....

The other days spike and trading halt sure was a wake up call - also suggesting the market is divided in sentiment and acting a bit funny still so early into the new year just my thoughts...

1215 is also the 50% Fibonacci of recent rally. I changed my SL to 1214, thanks for your advice Xtrade!

Anytime = 1220 holding on so far as interim support.

1218 was in the risk zone, At least in the event of a dip past 1220 - 1215 "Should" hold.

Yet market will likely be quiet until after the FOMC minutes.

It's always good to have stops out of the risk and DIP zones! For instance, say there were no minutes today and we were just dealing with
1220 for now, a stop at 1218 area is asking to get hit on a dip of 1220, often these minor supports will hold but the price will pass through first before rebounding up or down... Same theory for trading short and using resistances to place day trade stops.
